Course for Non-Curators: New Roles for a Changing Art Field

The Course for Non-Curators is an advanced four-month online programme by Institution School for practitioners interested in developing new forms of curatorial work beyond conventional exhibition-making. Across lectures, seminars, workshops and tutorials, participants engage with artists, curators and thinkers including Hou Hanru, Charles Esche, Suzanne Lacy, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Ute Meta Bauer, Onome Ekeh, Formafantasma, CLIMAVORE, and many more. The programme combines transdisciplinary study with mentored project development, culminating in experimental “non-exhibitions”. Three projects will be selected for realisation with international institutional partners in 2027–28. Participants receive a Certificate in Expanded Curatorial Practice upon successful completion. Eligibility: Artists, curators, researchers, educators, designers, cultural producers and professionals from other fields interested in contemporary art. Teaching is in English.
